Video profile: The Wellington Hospital - Liver treatment

The Wellington Hospital in London, England has one of the most distinguished multidisciplinary liver transplant teams in Europe supported by the most up to date and comprehensive imaging and surgical facilities available anywhere in the United Kingdom.

For people with end stage liver disease where symptoms of the disease become apparent and are, in themselves, life threatening (variceal bleeding, encephalopathy, ascites, mal-nutrition, jaundice), the need to have your liver removed and a healthy one substituted into its place is a recognised treatment. This treatment is called Liver Transplantation and is also offered to those who become acutely unwell with liver disease that spreads, to such an extent, that the liver is unlikely to survive.
